Wow, what a sweet gift from your very sweet friend! I love maple syrup. Love it in my tea :-)Your dish of waffle hearts with lots of fruits on plate with pretty flower pattern....so delightful! I bet it makes your husband "honey bear" very very happy :-)

Such a lovely gift from Celia to take back home with you. I really love the sweet heart shaped waffle irons.I made pancakes for breakfast this morning and we had with strawberries, whipped cream with lemon, and pure maple syrup from Canada. ( I never buy the imitation syrup)Hope you are enjoying your Sunday and wishing you a great November hugsCarolyn

Dearest Mariette,Such pretty and tasty gifts you friend gave you. I have never heard of syrup waffles, but they look yummy.This is the time when maple syrup comes into its own. Even though I have to watch my sugar intake this is a wonderful treat.I always enjoy seeing your little heart waffle maker. It adds a pretty touch to any meal or snack.Enjoy the coming week..............*s*

My dearest Mariette .. so happy that you enjoyed the treats from Canada ...and that you managed to get ONE of the wafers (will have to send you a personal stash *smile*) ... loving your heart shaped waffles - the presentation with the fruit looks yummy and the floral on the plates makes it all pop. Thank you for your sweet words and thoughts - this anniversary has been very challenging and unearthing a real roller coaster of emotions (hence my social media hit and miss). It's all part of the healing process - and though I'm certain the future is bright there are times when the darkness is a formidable opponent and the fight leaves me depleted. Recharging my energy and looking forward to kicking butt!!! Hugs and Blessings to you both as you prepare for USA Thanksgiving <3
